About the BMW M3 CS F80
The M3 CS serves as the hardcore finale to the F80 generation, sitting above the Competition Package with more power and less weight. It features a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) bonnet, front splitter, and a Gurney flap rear spoiler, contributing to a 50kg weight saving over the standard model. The chassis is sharpened with bespoke tuning for the Adaptive M suspension and active differential, while the interior is stripped of its armrest and finished in Alcantara. It is widely regarded as the most balanced and capable iteration of the F80 chassis, offering a more visceral driving experience than its siblings.
